Marky8 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 1 of the things that i noticed is no destroyers y is this, out of curiousity? besides escort carriers, with their air umbrella, the destroyer is the perfect sub hunter y no heavy and light cruiser unit ? or, was the destroyer excluded from the game, beacause if u play the allies, it wouldve been to easy to beat the uboats, if u just built a bunch of destroyers and parked them in the atlantic? is that y they were left out?

xwormwood Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 no, not at all. destroyers were left out of the game because the rights for the letters "wh" were so very expensive that hubert was forced cut down programming time: he needed cash and his pockets were empty (this is the reason why the pocket-battleships weren't impleted as well...)

JerseyJohn Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Mr X, Live and learn, never knew that part of these things -- thanks for explaining it! Marky8 -- Destroyers are invisible units attached to what are labelled as Battleships, Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers. The Battleships themselves can't do a thing against submarines so it's the destroyers within the task force that fight them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 The sad thing is that the Axis rarely pursues a naval war until Russia is defeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John DiFool Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I had a long post about the naval war in SC2 (it's now a few pages back I'd say) which gave a role to sub hunter groups (headed by 1-2 CLs and the rest DDs).
